Abstract
-
en_US
This version of GA with strong duochrome illustrations in yellow and black tells the tale at its simplest. The grasshopper dies in the end. The story depicts the grasshopper as very happy in summer; sometimes versions seeing the grasshopper as lazy do not describe or picture him as happy. The ant should just "sit here and sing like me," the grasshopper suggests. "Winter is too far away to think about." Again later, "Work, work, work. That's all you ever do. Why don't you rest a bit and sing with me?" "There's lots of time to gather food before winter comes." The ant uses a coaster-wagon to portage his food to the ant-hill.
